"Chronicles of the Plague Year" is the masterpiece of Daniel Defoe, the father of European novels. It tells the story of the great plague that hit London in 1665. The novel is likely based on records kept by Defoe's uncle, Henry Defoe. In this book, in order to achieve a realistic effect, Defoe went to great lengths to describe in detail the specific communities, streets, and even which houses the plague occurred. In addition, the work also provides a table of casualty figures and discusses the credibility of various records and anecdotes. Defoe's account, although fictional, is more detailed and systematic. The work was first published in 1722, and its influence is second only to "Robinson Crusoe". "Captain Singleton" is a novel written by the British writer Daniel Defoe, which mainly focuses on the sailing adventure and development of a desert island by the protagonist of the same name. Pirate Henry Ivry is the most wanted man in the British Empire. In 1696, after the Evry group broke up, many members of the group were hanged on the gallows as soon as they set foot on British soil. Only Evry escaped, and no one saw him again. Some say he secluded himself in Dublin, while others claim to have seen him in his hometown of Portsmouth. His story was adapted into a script and performed at the Theater Royal in London, where it became a huge sensation. Defoe used Avery as a prototype to write "Singleton" (domestic translation: "The Pirate Captain"). At the end of the novel, Captain Singleton repented of what he had done, lived in seclusion in the suburbs of London, and lived a happy life with his friend William and his sister. The work reflects the life, morals and ideals of the British colonial period and became a well-known popular reading immediately after its publication.
